Epilogue – Snow
.
「────」
The snow was falling and covering the battlefield deeply.
All the traces were covered.
The traces of the deathly battle against the Sacred Eclipse that was the assembly of the fused thoughts of people.
It was painting over the pain of the heart that lost something important.
After watching after Raffi’s last moment, Lux and others thought of making contact with the other members who were left behind and joined up with them.
But,
「──It looks like I made it in time.」
Magialca was riding on the shoulder of the Drake being piloted by Lolotte.
She was leading Airi, the Triad, and the members of Seven Dragon Paladins.
「Captain, Magialca

. Why──?」
「What, after provoking all of you so much like that to take action, it would be uncool if I stay behind doing nothing in the last battle wouldn’t it? I told the remaining Azure Division members to bring relief supplies here. With this we should be able to relax somewhat.」
Magialca grinned. Behind her more than ten Drag-Knights appeared.
Magialca who secretly came here was targeted by a Shadow that mimicked Raffi, but it seemed Yoruka had taken care of it easily. It was also her who saved Airi and others who got attacked.
Other than that, it seemed they also collected the subordinate Drag-Knights of the four great nobles who charged into this Ancient Forest.
「That’s really, a big help

」
Lux who had no spare strength left smiled.
Lux was indebted to them for taking care of the things that he couldn’t manage.
「You said that but, weren’t you waiting until Onii-chan defeated Sacred Eclipse? Your timing was too good.」
「Certainly. Perhaps you’re unexpectedly still targeting Avalon’s legacy.」
Mel gazed at Magialca with a fixed stare, and then Greyfer also got on the topic with a careless tone.
「You guys, be a little more trusting toward other people! We’re comrades who had fought together aren’t we!/」
「When it’s you saying that, it sound excessively suspiciouus

」
「The more you’re speaking, the more I feel it.」
Rosa and Soffice replied at Magialca’s objection.
As though to notify the end of the long and very painful deathly battle, the air around Lux suddenly softened down.
With this they were able to prevent the damage from the rampage of Sacred Eclipse for the time being.
They protected the New Kingdom, and the world for now.
「Lux-kun, it’s fine to do it after you finish getting treatment and resting. I’m sorry to make you force your body but──」
「Yes, we’ve to enter the Center of Avalon. Also──someone has to connect with the Center.」
Connecting with the Center.
That was an authority that could only be obtained by someone who was recognized by Avalon’s system.
They had to seal Sacred Eclipse so it wouldn’t resurrect anymore.
And then, they had to decide one more important thing.
Should they listen to the continuation of the story from the record of the artificial intelligence in the Archive that was left behind by Arshalia at the ancient time.
Currently, Lux couldn’t see the Automata Arshalia within his field of vision.
Perhaps she was observing Lux and others from somewhere, or perhaps──.
「Fugil──

」
Lux called the name of his big brother who wasn’t in this Ancient Forest right now.
The scale of this world, the path of the humans.
Would Lux once more face that existence who was like a god controlling those things together with the Sacred Eclipse?
Fugil headed to the Garden to set the Grand Force in there. They likely would have around several hours of time until he returned here.
During that time, he had to resolve himself.
.
He was going to take the chance to take his last break and talking to his comrades.
